I went to my first Stampin' Up party last night and had a really good night. It was fun to meet up with new people that share a love for crafting. Must say I did order a stamp set and now can't wait for them to turn up. The card above is one I made for my sister to give to one of her friends. Not one of my favorites, but she liked it.

I made these cards up after I saw this months Quick Cards,I have only just got these cards at a bargain price of £4.99 from a local shop in town and though I had to put them to good use. It's my little baby's 4th birthday today I can't quite believe how quick the years have flown by. She got loads of new toys which are now spread across the living room floor. I also got a little present through the post today,some new stamps from Crafts U Love and I can't wait to try them out,I got a little cowboy and cowgirl,I'll have to show you once I've had chance to have a play. I've got my Maths class tonight which I'm not looking forward to, it seems to be getting harder and harder,I have just had the results from my first exam through and I some how managed to get an A*, lets hope I can keep it up.

Here are a couple of the cards that I have made. I got the stamp the other day from The Glitter Pot and I'm really pleased with how it has come out, the paper and other bits are from my stash not to sure where it came from.

Hi, it has been such a long time since I have done anything, now I have a couple of cards to show you and the computer is playing up and I can't seem to upload them, I'll try again later. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and here's to another year of crafting.xxx

A little while ago I went on a course at The Glitter Pot and luckily for me Stamping Caz was the demonstrator. These are a bit like the ones we made, but I've just changed it to suit my sister-in-law, I'm half way through making another one for my niece which I'm hoping to get done tonight so I may be able to show you that tomorrow. Thanks Caz.

Another day and another blue card, not sure why all my cards seem to be blue this year I'll have to try some different colours. Not had much chance to get much made a the moment, what with broken arms, children being ill, getting some christmas shopping done and trying to keep up to date with my Maths work, hopefully I might get some done over the next couple of days.

Another christmas card, getting there slowly, this is the first time that I have tried stitching on a card before not sure if the card needs something else, any ideas? I've had a bit of a busy week again, I have not been able to get much done, and to top it off my daughter Jordan broke her arm at school on Friday. She has been really good and does not seem to be in too much pain.

Xmas Cards

Hi everyone, here are a couple of Christmas cards that I have made using my kids as models, I ended up making quite a few of these to sent to Nan's and Grandad's, aunts and uncles. I know that they are very simple but I think they look great.

A little while ago I went out and brought Quick Cards Made Easy, I don't normally take much notice of the free papers that you get free, but this time i decided to have a go at using the free stickers and paper that came with it, and here are the results. hope you like.
